This article does a really good job of explaining the home offensive struggles. Essentially the data supports Bregman and Springer’s claim that the outfielders squeeze the LF/CF and RF/CF gaps due to the Crawford boxes acting as an extra outfielder (Springer’s words not mine). They also say that they feel pitchers pitch them different at home. For what it’s worth though, Hinch doesn’t really seem to buy into any of these as viable reasons and leans more toward the idea that the offensive issues are more mental than anything else.
The rays are like a combined 6-20 vs the red sox, yankees, and mariners. The astros cannot crap the bed against this team.
They haven’t won a series against the Rays in ten years and are 22-12 against them since joining the AL For whatever reason they play us really well
We won either last season (on the road) or the prior year.. but yeah, it's sucked overall. __ All right, Los !!! Hustled that double Then..... Gurriel continues his RISP shine. Let's get a crooked number.
Im listening to the broadcast they just went over our struggles against the Rays. I thought they said we hadn’t won a series since 08. I could be wrong. We have definitely struggled mightily
Cash should've waited to bring in Andriese... the heart of our order had great #'s against him (small sample size)
They just went over our struggles against the Rays on the broadcast. I thought they said we hadn’t won a series against them since 08 and are 12-22 against them since joining the AL. Our worst record against like any AL team.
It absolutely is. One of the most pitcher friendly parks. And the most frustrating part is the extremely lazy narrative that so many national writers/analysts float out there that MMP is some sort of hitter’s haven because of the Crawford boxes.
